mike scioscia said i've never seen that before.gainst the orioles, used the bats for home runs right at the top is vladimir guererro. 19 career. two this year. and it all started to 3-2 change-up with one out to figgins. >> scioscia was funny when that ball was hit like a cricket pitch. he said about the game all the charts that show hot zone, hit well here. don't hit up and away. hit in the middle. right now vlade is batting 1000 on the pitch that bounces in front of home plate. good number. >> jim: they are trying. the orioles pitching coach is trying to get something down in the strike zone. anything up he elevates. anything on one hop he elevates. >> gary: if guererro tried to elevate. that 0-1 count. the bases are loaded. he's had 5 grand slams in his career. >> jim: they said they will have to move him off the plate. up in the zone. >> 0 for two with the bases loaded for vlad each wall streeters pitches a pitch inside and 1-1 strike. no score in the game but the afternoon gels threatening in the 3rd inning. two walks. big guy

scioscia.ing about jerode weaver. what i told him after the game. the first strike is important but the second strike is more important. don't get a first strike and go 2-one. you can go 1-1. but get the second strike and don't get in the hitters strike. weaver did that last night and you can't do that. that's the first time i heard a baseball guy say the second strike is more important than the first one. the third strike is the really important one because it ins the at bat -- ending the at bat. >> jim: i look at all the numbers again john lackey. 2-1 10 for 27 if they put it in play. other than that the count. 11 for 33, 2-0, he had not done that all night long. >> gary: a 1, 2, 3 inning as the play is made by aybar. the first time in the game the orioles have been retired in order. in the dark. no peanuts or nothin'. and then if your bag wants to bring one of its little bag friends for company, they charge another $25. that's just plain mean. why do they hate your bags? at southwest airline

a high percentage nine out of 12678 a lot of options for mike scioscia. contact hitter at the plate. look if a ball to try to hit it into right field early in the count. >> hits it to left field. the angels have something going on now i can't that is my theory on pitching. when you have a left handed hitter come up with the hole and the runner at first is make him hit the ball the other way ask jim johnson does that. now to abreu's credit he gets a base hit. but the double play still in order. you don't get the first and third. this is really what pitching is all about. not that you wanted to walk that first guy. and new all of a sudden, even though rivera has been swinging the bat as well as anybody in the american league, if he hits a ground ball at one of your infielders, he got two quick outs. juan rivera now, he is one for five. there is a strike at the knees. back in the first inning when the angels got to jeremy guthrie for three runs in the first, sending eight batters up. we have starters. the beginning to a playing field now. as we were past 5:0

. >> mike scioscia knows.he has been around the game long enough as a catcher player and manager that 6-3 is no safe lead. especially unless you get to the late parts to the bullpen. >> jim: all three orioles runs roberts luke scott here in the fourth were a solo. >> jim: he struck them out on a 3-2 change up the last time. >> jim: aybar has it. the throw not in time. wiggington is out with a two out single women jim eric aybar can cover some ground. he figured you know i'm making all the other praise, i might as well make this one. right there, you can see long way to go. chad moellerer ripped the ball, what a marvelous year he has had. aybar now with kansas city started out the year in seattle. he picked a good year to have his year year chad moellerer takes ball one. with a second start since coming back. >> jim: they got rid of what $58 million with alex going to the white sox? they could afford them you have to think he likes playing there. here comes mike to talk to his young pitcher. it is scioscia. goi

w in the on column. >> the angels dinner will taste a little better tonight.   >> mike scioscia will feel a little better about things after watching his team give up a lead and then the blown save by his closer fuentes in the mining. in the end he'll still have the win, with one more out and trembley will feel the opposite. >> 3-2 on roberts. free fall on a breaking ball. oh so the orioles go down three up three down in the 13th on three consecutive strikeouts and the angels win it 17 runs on 23 hits. join us again to tomorrow the finale of the four game series. david hernandez on the mound against snant. coverage begins at 6:30 with o's extra followed by the game at 7:00. now for jim palmer amber and our entire crew, jim saying so long from the park. now we head out to o's extra. tom davis and rick dempsey to recap the game. take it way, tom. >> >> tom: tom davis together with rick dempsey. the orioles tie not guilty game twice and lose it go in extra innings. 17-8 to the angels. how tough is it? >> this is the worst kind. the orioles were down four runs at the start of th

mike scioscia, the longest tenured manager in the american league. former catcher.mike napoli is having a tough time with the relief pitchers getting on. the runner gets to second base four times now has had to go to the mound. >> jim: let's see if jepsen's fast ball in the upper 90s. he makes a perfect pitch outside corner. 2-2 the count. batting with the sunglasses. reimold is second. reimold toward short. aybar to first as scott hustles down the line. reimold at third base with one out. productive out if you will because it advanced the base runner. > >> jim: he was just trying to drive a ball somewhere. s hit it sharply right up the middle. they will play the infield back with a two run lead. so anywhere except the corners where they could elect to come home they'll get a run in. he puts it in play swings through that, 0-1. >> jim: see that is a perfect example. when somebody throws 988 miles per hour and he throws you a sharp breaking ball, if you are hitting well, do you swing at it? the answer is usually no. it is a pitcher's pitch. jepsen at least he was in

he did. >> you see mike scioscia came on the field for two calls right there. another foul tip off the bat of aybar. aybar thought it was a foul tip. the umpire saw it wasn't. aybar trying to get the extra swing. >> i want to go the pie last night. you've seen all kind of player. pie had a tough year. he was the starter. he losts a job. he's had to work to get whatever playing time he gets and has a career night. only 4 cycles in the history of the orioles. why is he not allowed to celebrate with his teammates and why is scioscia offended. i don't think he was showing anyone up. >> i don't think he was trying to show up anything. if there's anything we need it's emotion and he has it out there. i don't see any reason for the retaliation. like they threw at his head. they threw inside. maybe there's a question if they did it on purpose. since i thought about it last night and said it publically there would be a little bit of retallation. it's gamesmanship and i wish we had more of that myself here. >> if we went back and looked at every angel home run none of th

mike scioscia likes to play a national league-style of ball. one ball, two strikes to cantu hitting .285. john lannan coming off an outing in pittsburgh where he gave up five runs, nine hits going deep in the game seven innings. breaking ball got him. cantu gave up on it. fieldin culbreth took a good, long look and then punched out the batter. lannan gives up an infield hit and good start to his evening. to ride in the bottom of the plane in the dark. no peanuts or nothin'. and then if your bag wants to bring one of its little bag friends for company, they charge another $25. that's just plain mean. why do they hate your bags? at southwest airlines, bags fly free. grab your bag. it's on!

we'll see how scioscia plays it. a guy with 15 bunt base hits. 26 infield hits. he can handle the bat. the orioles would pop in at first and mora at third. aybar with a bunt base hit. not a sacrifice but a straight bunt. >> gary: he has 8 sacrifices to go with the infield hits. first and second, nobody out. drops it toward 2nd base. huff has to backhand it. roberts cuffers. good sacrifice. aybar moves them up. mathis to third and figgins to second. >> jim: so much easier to sacrifice when you can bunt, we know he can do that. number 2 you have speed to bases. even mathis as a catcher runs well. he got it down, made huff field it. aubrey's only play was to roberts. we saw this all night last night the orioles had the advantage over the angels and playing the infield in during the middle innings. not what you want to do. you have to do it because you're trailing by 4. >> gary: bobby abreu, second best runner in scoring position number in the league getting another shot at it. second and third, one away. abreu with a big cut. he had trouble figuring out malts -- mat

and cape cod, hurricane bill is expected to move north and slam into prince edward island and nova scioscia tomorrow. jeff. >> glor: and, bill, we also know the first family is expected on martha's vineyard tomorrow. is the hurricane expected to affect their trip at all? >> reporter: own the arrival, jeff. maybe the president and his family will be delayed a little bit. after that the weather is suppose to be great for the rest of the week. >> glor: bill shield from our affiliate wbz joining us from min tonight. bill, thank you. in his weekly address today, president obama called for an honest debate on health care reform and he accused some critics of making "phony claims." it has been a rough summer for the president and as kimberly dozier report tonight, right now he's looking for a recharge. >> reporter: this is a mansourly in need of a vacation. barack obama still has a 57% approval rating, but that's down by more than 10 points. so are his poll numbers for his handling of the economy, the war in afghanistan, and his signature issue, health care reform. his critics say he hasn't done a

mike scioscia says as he learning some things about how stuff plays out in the big leagues, he'll get a little deeper in the games. the blue jays win by a final of 8-3. travis snider, who was recently recalled go 3-3. ricky romero, outstanding rookie, picks up his sixth win of the season. >> giambi, who was released earlier by the as was hitting .193 before let go back on august 7th could join the rockies when the roster expands in september. the giants a two-run lead on the rockies. tim lincecum took a no-hitter in the sixth inning in this one. rockies lead over the giants was two games in the nl wildcard entering play. edgar enteria with a home run, his first since late april. >> marlins-braves. both teams four games back in the nl wildcar entering the day. it's john bake -- baker flying out to end it. mccann, it's his first home run over the last four games. that tie as career high for runs batted in. braves now 8 games over .500. >> cubs and dodgers in the top of the fourth inning. carmona leading the indians today. ken griffey, jr., 24th career home run. he's now 36 shy of willie

but still a threat, the category 1 hurricane is heading towards canada, where folks in nova scioscia are preparing for a direct hit. offshore oil rigs there are being monitored carefully. as bill moves cooler waters today, forecasters say it will continue to weaken. but the big swells produced by bill, will continue to keep some beaches closed to swimmers. frustrating vacationers on one of the last weekends of summer. >> they were pretty incredible. they were over six feet tall. had a couple come over, wash our furniture away a little bit. >> next summer has to be better. >> reporter: martha's vineyard is included in the tropical storm warning, even as the obama family prepares to vacation there. they've delayed their arrival to this afternoon. and that tropical storm warning along the massachusetts coast is expected to be lifted at some point this morning. but bill and kate, those dangerous riptides are still an issue across the east coast. back to you. >> okay, steph. thanks. >>> sharyn alfonsi is in this morning for ron claiborne. good morning, with the news. >> good morning, guys

.   >> bob: scioscia is up. >> bergman, and clippard had to pitch last night.core that ball game was 4-3 as well. here's belliard. bard to follow. there's that good sinker. marquis starts that thing about thigh high and gets 8 cross. that's tough. there's the exnet, joe biemel. and a ground ball left side. cut off by stewart. i told joe you look good if black. he said i'm not sure about the purple trim though. >> there's our butty -- buddy joe. the telecast presented by authority of the washington national may not be reproduced or retransmitted in any form, the acts entrance corruptions may not be disseminated without written consent of washington gnashes. there's the newest nat. mike morris on deck. if bard could extend this like he did in the second. here a guy that can hack. he's put up good offensive numbers everywhere he's been. >> rob: the issue is the one through 4 hitters are leading the national league in hitting since the saul tar -- all-star break. one through 4 hits.there 82. the rest of the batting order needs to pick it up a notch. >> going to be

but the majority take it off shore and potentially to know scioscia. regardless with the storm passing to the east even if there it is a tropical storm there will is likely to be be high waves and rip tides. and you saw the girl that watched the waves and slipped out to sea. take it seriously if you are going to be at the beach on friday, saturday and sunday. 91 today. no problems. tomorrow a stray afternoon storm and then unsettlehood friday through sunday and depending on danny and the front it will determine how much rain we do or don't get. >>> good morning. >>> hey, if you are popping on the computer don't forget to visit wusa9.com. on the home page you will see the picture. click on my picture and we will chat at my blog and i will get you the traffic. slow ride from the prince william parkway to lorton. a drive time at ten minutes. moving to 395 northbound. main delay stretches from edsall to seminary. then we will take it to the district. inbound new york avenue from the times building to bladensburg road we are below speed and a good amount of

nova scioscia may be hit with a category 1 storm. there's one more look at tropical storm warnings, all of the areas in blue, especially along long island, high surf advisories. >>> from the studio now, to weather channel meteorologist mike seidel, live on jones beach in new york. what's the situation there now? >> reporter: alex, a beautiful, sunny, saturday morning here at jones beach. temperatures now in the mid 70s, heading up to low 80s. we had a lot of heavy rain earlier, not from bill. more rain, not from bill. and hardly any wind. take a look at surf. these are the waves, swell propagating from hundreds of miles away from bill. they have shut down the beach for swimming. you can come out on the beach, a lot of spectators taking pictures, getting toes wet, if you go further out the life gars will glow you in. this happens, i've been told this happens without bill, but look at all of the water out there pooling around the trash cans. the red flags are up. the lifeguards out there on their chair and they're a little bit of a dun

night into saturday morning, off the north carolina coastline and then they take it up into nova scioscia. this would make most of the storm offshore. we hope it stays that way. we'll have to look at what the resulting weather pattern is. >>> breaking news on the economy now and it's one of those situations where less bad is good news. dillon b this is your type of take on the story. newly released figures show that the economy shrank by 1% this spring. that's the same as the initial estimate. but it's better than the 1.5% decline that some economists were expecting to hear. does that make sense? better than what some economists had predicted. some improvement from the job market, the number of newly laid off workers for unemployment fell by 10,000 people last week to 570,000 new claims, so still 500,000 people filing for new unemployment benefits. the ongoing unemployment claims dipped from 6.25 million to 6.13 million people currently unemployed, dillon. an awful lot of people are without work. >> and that's the biggest tragedy, really, in this whole undertaking is the impact on the lab

what is the confidence level of mike scioscia that santana will get back to form?rd, they had a day game and santana won. >> oh my gosh, yes. >> that's all right. errors are made. irvin had a good game today, not a great game. gave up four runs in the first three innings. he righted himself. walked a guy with the bases loaded and one out in the third inning and came through with a strikeout and a groundout and pitched three more scoreless innings. so it's been kind of a really weird year for him, fighting back from these elbow injuries. really seems to struggle in the first three innings and then sort of settles down and finds his rhythm. certainly not the all-star he was last year, but taking a little steps toward improvements so far this year. >> thank you mike digiovanna. >> no problem. >> see what happens when you start writing early? mike, appreciate your time. >> all right. no problem. >> the pittsburgh pirates last place in the n.l. central are hurting. they've lost four straight games and the big question is just how much did they lose by last week's trade

if you live in nova scioscia, newfoundland or cape cod or the coast, you could get caught in this tuesday. large waves apossible today starting in florida and the rest of the weekend. rip currents the whole nine yards, a rough surf. >>> and rain showers beginning to fall apart a bit. oklahoma city, lots of thunderstorms towards the north. enid about to get hit with a big thunderstorm line as it comes from the west and the thunderstorms extend all the way south of chicago. yesterday, 18 tornado reports, minneapolis, iowa, wisconsin. look at the video out of the minnesota area. unbelievable damage coming in here. 18 tornado reports, kind of rare for this time of year. we might see more tornado action today lining up across the midwest. i'll have that point pointed in about a half hour. >> that looks really rough, 18 reports of tornados. >>> you know the airline special deal was a little too popular. whi why jetblue is canceling it, all you can fly. >>> and the mayor attacked by a man with a metal pipe. >> i think it's fair to say things got very very ugly very very quickly. >> he talked abo

about 220 miles to the east of nantucket ap continues to pull off toward the east and areas of nova scioscia as you move to the south. there's a cold front that's moving on through and we are going to see the rain showers across the coastal areas of the carolinas and across parts of the florida. we'll have showers ap thunderstorms as well, but this front is far to the south and anywhere to the north of the showers you see in florida, still, a spectacular day. across parts of the west, we've got a few showers that moved through overnight into texas, unfortunately not enough to help with the drought, but rain across areas of the west where we need it. lake tahoe and nevada, that is welcome. temperature-wise for your day today. here is a look at your highs. we are going to be seeing absolutely one of the best days you've seen in a long time. areas of chicago all the way towards atlanta and memphis today. temps into the 80's. phoenix back towards 100. for your day tomorrow, we are going to warm up just a little bit back across areas of the southeast, and back into the mid to upper 80's, so enjoy

but it looks like it will make landfall around the nova scioscia area, but look for increase deadly rip currents around the eastern seaboard as we progress throughout the weekend. not in association with hurricane bill, but we are going to watch a cold front move into the northeast for the upcoming weekend. some lift out of this frontal boundary will set the stage for heavy downpours. around the newark area, philadelphia, as well, albany, anywhere from 2 to 5 inches of rainfall out of that frontal boundary. but definitely dangerous rip currents for the upcoming weekend in association with hurricane bill there. so we can expected is to see wave heights around bermuda from 18 to 24 feet. so as we take a look at your business travel right now, no current airport delays out of the northeast. this will change, folks, as we watch that frontal boundary moving towards the northeast. look at the forecast for the big apple. you'll need the rain gear later on this afternoon. temperatures, warm and muggy. a few of the storms could be on the strong to severe side of things there. as you look at your
